Easter Anticipation

Easter is a special time that I have felt over the last few years deserves more attention. So this year I wanted to help us all out by creating an Easter-centered mini bundle with a hymn, verse, poem, and coloring pages that go along with the stories that encompass this beautiful celebration.

Our Road Trip to Utah

We survived our first family road trip. Actually, to be honest, we more than survived! All I wanted was for it to be fun enough that we would want to do something like it again. It definitely had it's rough spots (windy roads, two puking incidents, 100+ degree weather, and standstill traffic) but overall we …

Life Lately :: How Is It Already May?!

I am past the boot-wearing phase. Now that we've had some warmer days, I've broken out the sandals and I can't go back, so if you see me out and about on a rainy, 50 degree day wearing my flip flops you now know why. I just can't. But summer is just around the corner, …

The Office is Finished!

After much planning and hard work, the office is finally done! What kickstarted this project was the fact that James was going to start working from home more. I wanted him to be able to have a space that was creative and more on the masculine side. First off, we painted all the walls a …

Our Trip to Waco

If you follow me on Instagram, you know about the magical place that I went to this week that is the Magnolia Silos. I can still hear the music playing outside, the smells coming from the bakery, and friendly faces of everyone who works there. Our hotel was less than five minutes from the market …

Olive’s Room

In those first weeks of pregnancy (or the whole thing) you have to imagine every future scenario with a boy and with a girl. For me it was much easier picturing girl things because that's what my family mainly consists of and it's what I've been around. However, when it came to the baby's room, …

Meet Olive James

The other day I was in the shower and it hit me; I gave birth to a child. I did that. Not somebody I know, not someone I read about on a blog, ME! It was/is a weird and deeply rewarding feeling. Our Miss Olive joined our family on December 23rd at 10:56am. We had an …

God Is Funny

At the beginning of the year, I had no idea what direction our life was going to go. The only thing we knew was going to happen was our European cruise but other than that, all was up in the air. My job was going to change, James's job was possibly changing, we were going …

Our Europe Trip

We're back!! In case you missed this post, James and I went on a 12 night cruise through the Mediterranean and made stops in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. It was such an incredible trip and I am so excited to finally share our photos with you! Barcelona, Spain Cannes, France  Lucca + Pisa, …
